2020-05-07timer: add fsleep for flexible sleepingHeiner Kallweit1-0/+3
Sleeping for a certain amount of time requires use of different functions, depending on the time period. Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst explains when to use which function, and also checkpatch checks for some potentially problematic cases. So let's create a helper that automatically chooses the appropriate sleep function -> fsleep(), for flexible sleeping If the delay is a constant, then the compiler should be able to ensure that the new helper doesn't create overhead. If the delay is not constant, then the new helper can save some code. Signed-off-by: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-06-14docs: timers: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+112
The conversion here is really trivial: just a bunch of title markups and very few puntual changes is enough to make it to be parsed by Sphinx and generate a nice html. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
